Acid Dissociation HA (aq) H+(aq) + A- (aq) AcidProtonConjugate base Alternately, H+ may be written in its hydrated form, H3O+ (hydronium ion)
Dissociation of Strong Acids Strong acids are assumed to dissociate completely in solution. Large Ka or small Ka? Reactant favored or product favored?
Dissociation of Weak Acids Weak acids are assumed to dissociate only slightly (less than 5%) in solution. Large Ka or small Ka? Reactant favored or product favored?
